Kitchen shelves have become a trend in recent times. Depending on the material, colors and measurements, it is a decorative option that will undoubtedly give life to your kitchen.
Shelves or tall furniture?
When designing your kitchen, the question often arises as to what is better, whether to use shelves or wall units.
When the kitchen is small, the right option is the shelves, since they allow the back of the wall to be seen and the space is not so visually overloaded.. Of course, in this case it is important to maintain order and establish an ideal distribution of the products. For example, containers can be a single color or arranged according to their size.
Tall furniture, on the other hand, has the advantage of being much more functional. than shelves, as they allow for greater storage.
Now, if you have space you can use both options and eliminate so much indecision.
